The organizers of Saturday's Straight Pride rally in Modesto, California imagined an event that would draw hundreds of people — and it did, but not in the way they hoped.

美國有人發起異性戀驕傲遊行,幾乎沒人蔘加

加利福尼亞莫德斯托市的週六異性戀驕傲遊行的組織者想出一個活動,以爲會吸引數百人蔘與。遊行的確吸引了這麼多人,但情況並非如他門所願。

For the event, organizers originally intended to use the Durrer Barn due to being banned from using a public space. When the owner of the venue found out their intentions, he ordered them to leave, effectively banning them from that space as well.

組織者們被禁止使用公共區域,原本打算將該活動地點設在Durrer Barn,但該店老闆發現了他們的用意之後要求他們離開,也不讓他們用了。

As a last minute resort, the group staged the event in front of Planned Parenthood on McHenry Avenue.

這羣人在最後關頭把活動地點設在了位於McHenry大街的美國計劃生育協會前面。

“This whole thing was presented to me as a little meeting, and I had no idea it was going to end up like this,” said Leo Durrer, the owner of Durrer Barn.

Durrer Barn的老闆Leo Durrer說:“我看整個活動就像個小型會議,我不知道最終會這樣結束。”

“I trusted these people wholeheartedly because I did not think they had a mean bone in them. Maybe it's a really good lesson for me to check things out better in the future.”

“我完全相信這些人,我不認爲他們骨子裏就很刻薄,可能對我來說這真是一個教訓,以後要好好了解情況。”

Police reported that 200 people were present outside the Planned Parenthood. And while this could be seen as a win, only about 20 of those were supporters of Straight Pride. The rest: the LGBT+ community and its allies who had come to protest.

警察報告稱有200人出現在美國計劃生育協會外面,雖然活動看起來很成功,但這些人中只有20人支持“異性戀驕傲”,其他人都是LGBT+人羣和支持者,都是來抗議的。

In contrast, an estimated 250 people attended a vigil on Friday at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church to celebrate Modesto's diversity ahead of the Straight Pride event. That event was organized in part by Matthew Mason, the gay son of Modesto Straight Pride co-organizer Mylinda Mason. Mason had previously come out against the Pride.

相反,在異性戀驕傲遊行之前估計有250人蔘加週五在聖保羅聖公會教堂的集會慶祝莫德斯托市的多樣化。這個集會有一部分是由同性戀人士Matthew Mason組織的,他是莫德斯托市異性戀驕傲遊行的共同組織者Mylinda Mason的兒子。Mason此前曾站出來反對這個異性戀驕傲遊行。
